A young moose wandered into our campground and it was amazing. Some of the cleanest bathrooms we have ever had (and we have seen a lot) and the camp ground hosts were amazing. Dirt road to the site is a bit rough but passable, so prepare for that. We will definitely be coming back!

Edie is the BEST host we have experienced at any .gov park - keeps sites clean & neat; enforces all rules (politely, but firmly) - we will absolutely return to this park - please let her be a host for as long as she wants !

Edit and Felix were great hosts and the campsite was one of the cleanest and well-kept I've ever seen. Plenty of wildlife to see and great hiking along a beautiful river. We had a great time and will definitely be returning!

Our Campground host (Edie and Felix) are the best host ever. Bar none. The campsites are perfect when we arrive. The toilets are like none other. Impeccably clean. Very inviting. We will always go there as long as they are Host there. The wildlife going through the campground is amazing. We even had a young bull moose come though our campsite. Totally amazing.

The camp hosts here are amazing!!! The only reason I gave 5 stars for them is because 10 stars wasn’t an option.

The camp hosts, Felix And Edith, are the very best that we have ever encountered. They have each campsite cleaned before campers arrive, the rest rooms are cleaned to almost Operating Room standards at least twice per day. They make campers and visitors feel like a part of a caring community that wants to make them totally enjoy their vacation. If necessary Felix and Edith can explain the rules to campers who choose not to abide by the reasonable guidelines laid out by the Forest Service. They are not confrontational but ask those who defy the rules to comply and if they don't then they are reported to the Forest Service. In one case a camper had a kidney stone and had to go to a nearby hospital and was not able to vacate his campsite on the designated day. They worked with both sets of campers to see that each were served during the emergency. What more can one ask of Camp Hosts. They check with campers each day to see if they are enjoying their stay.
